More than a little nervous that iOS 6 maps is taking me to Idaho.

If you want to use your iPhone as a GPS, and don’t want to trust the maps, I highly recommend Motion X GPS Drive.

The app is $1. Voice navigation is $10/year (I think you can buy 30 days of it, but really? Ten bucks for a voice guided GPS is pretty good.)

I’ve been using that for awhile and really like it.

One final note: GPS takes a lot of battery power. If you don’t have a car charger, get one. Ideally something like this one which is just a USB plug for a car adapter. That way it will work with any USB powered device as long as you have a cable for it.

I’d like to add my recommendation for a free GPS app with voice navigation included called Waze. It accesses live traffic data gleaned from other Waze users to dynamically route you around slowdowns before you even see them and get you to your destination the fastest way possible. On a recent hour-long trip into Boston, it changed my route twice and saved me eight minutes. I love it.
